PREFACE, 


The  only  question   this  digest  seeks  to  answer  is, 
How  far  do  the  versions  support  these  references? 

HOWARD    OSGOOD. 

Rochester,  July  28,  1899. 


THE   TEXTS. 


The  texts  consulted  in  verifying  the  references  are  : 

The  Old  Testament  in  Greek  *  *  edited  ■■^"  ^-  by 
Henry  Barclay  Svvete,  Cambridge,  1 887-1 894,  3 
vols. 

LiBRORUM  Veteris  Testamenti  Canonicorum  ^  ^ 
Pauli  de  Lagarde  *  "^  Gottingae,  1883.  This  does 
not  go  beyond  Estl;er. 

Vetus  Testamentum  Graece  "^  *  Fridericus  Field 
^  ^  Oxonii,  1859. 

BiBLiA  Sacra  Latina  '^  ^  edited  by  Heyse  and  Tisch- 
endorf,  Leipzig,  1873. 

The  Old  Testament  in  Syriac,  edited  by  Samuel 
Lee,  London,  1823. 

Targum  Onkelos  *  ^  von  A.  Berliner,  Berlin,  1884. 

Pentateuchus  Samaritanus,  edited  by  Petermann 
and  Vollers,  Berlin,  1 872-1 891. 

BiBLiOTHECA  Samaritana,  edited  by  Heidenheim, 
Leipzig,  1884. 

Twice  only  is  the  Targum  on  Samuel  and  Kings 
referred  to,  but  I  have  not  considered  it  because 
of  the  utter  uncertainty  of  its  readings. 

Vercellone's  varm  of  the  Vulgate,  and  the  Ambrosian 
Syriac  text  have  not  been  considered  because  the}^ 
were  published  too  late  to  have  affected  these  ref- 
erences of  the  British  revisers  to  the  versions.

11  places. 
No  versions  support  the  references  in  33  places. 

The  majority  of  the  versions  is  against  the  emenda- 
tions in  151  places. 


4  THE    REFERENCES. 

The  versions  agree  with  the  references  in  31  places. 

The  majority  of  the  versions  is  with  the  references 
in  58  places. 

There  are  seven  places  where  the  margin  states  that 
"the  text  {i.e.  the  Hebrew)  is  probably  corrupt"  or 
•'faulty":  2  Sam.  23:  8;  2  Chr.  34 :  6 ;  Neh.  4:  23 
(Heb.  4:  17);  Prov.  7 :  22 ;  Isa.  64:  5  (Heb.  64:  4); 
Amos  4:  3;  Zech.  14:   18. 

Some  of  these  texts  are  difficult  of  translation,  the 
Hebrew  is  obscure,  but  in  none  of  them  is  there  any 
failure  of  complete  manuscript  authority  for  the  pres- 
ent reading-;  and  the  most  critical  editions,  Haer  and 
Ginsburg,  give  the  present  readings. 


Note. — In  the  first  line  of  the  following  quotations  are  given  the 
book,  chapter  and  verse,  with  the  text  of  the  British  Revision  to 
which,  in  the  margin,  they  refer  the  ancient  versions.  In  the  second 
line  is  given  the  marginal  reference  of  the  British  revisers.  In  the 
following  lines  are  given  the  texts  of  the  versions. 

Where  these  editions  of  the  Septuagint  agree  they  are  quoted  as 
"Swete"  and  counted  as  one  text.  Where  they  disagree  they  are 
quoted  under  the  editor's  name  and  are  counted  as  two  or  three  texts. 

All  the  versions  quoted  by  name  in  the  British  Revision  are:  The 
Septuagint  84  times,  Vulgate  19  times,  Syriac  17  times,  Onkelos  once, 
Samaritan  once,  Targum  twice,  Aquila  once. 

The  formulas  of  quotation  are:  "Some"  104  times,  "many"  26, 
"  most  "  4,  "  the  ancient  versions  "  3,  "  several  "  2.
